Ground is the meeting place between our bodies holding us up and together, and the downward pull of gravity. As a movement principle, ground is where we are, here and now; it is the dance of our connectedness to place and time.
Centre is our core - that space around which the rest of the body orbits. Circumpunct - ancient symbol of dot with circle around it.
Spacial awareness is the what how and where of movement. What is moving? How is it moving? Where is it moving? It is our orientation in, and awareness of, what is within us, as well as what is outside of us.
Why Movement?
Movement speaks us into being. It articulates us as sensate beings. Movement is not something that we do--in no way is it separate from, or outside of, us; Movement is what we are. Inviting awareness to our movement thus aligns us with our unique and shared being.
What is Embodiment?
Embodiment for me, as i understand and use it now, is the felt sense of being a moving being - to be embodied is to be not just aware of our sensate being, but to be rooted in it.
